A common problem with the F150 is the Drivers door check being noisy. It can be so annoying. Im going to show you step by step to replace the door check arm.
Finally got around to fixing this super annoying issue. Awesome video, super helpful!! Although removing and replacing the door keep was definitely the hardest part!! Thanks again!
Mine has went from clicking to sounding like an old spring mattress. Stealership wanted $180+ tax.....yeeeea I don't think so. I'll tackle it today, I didn't think it was that easy Thanks for the vid 🍻
Thank for the clear and concise video! I have done work like this before so it wasn’t totally impossible and the plastics isn’t too brittle yet. I did manage to break the retainer/guide in the door pull cable. It didn’t take much. I put it all back together and everything works fine so I am guessing the weak point in the clip cable guide doesn’t do much. I will order a new part and keep my fingers crossed. New strap is super quiet. 2017 SCREW Lariat
My 2016 f150 is having the same issue. Drives me nuts!! I thought grease would do the trick but I’m now learning the door check needs to be replaced. Great video by the way - thank you for your help! P.S. I noticed the bike helmets hanging on the wall. Do you MTB?
Is it best to buy this part from Ford or aftermarket? All my doors have this problem, and I hesitate to buy from Ford if it's only going to last a few years like the original ones did.
I have a question does this have to do anything with your door being un leveled , like opening it and slightly coming down and when you close it comes up?
So when the check squeaks it may also be pulling out of the rubber holder and when that pulls out and you closed the door you will destroy the mounting surface for the check. And then you will need a video to replace the door lol
@@ShallowHookerFishing it won't destroy the door it just won't close and then you will have to get a socket to remove the arm that is mounted to the body and then you can replace it.

Awesome video. Part is $20 from Ford dealer and took 30 minutes to replace completely.
Even cheaper on Ebay

Do You have to replace them or can You just lubricate?
Ur video helps alot
Now that the door panel is removed Not sure how
to disconnect the 3 cables ? You make it look to easy
Is there a trick ?
No trick I think I explain that one swift pull should pop the door panel off .

So being a Ford Tech I’m going to say stay with OEM the aftermarket world is garbage right now
Do you need to grease the new door check after installing?
No
I have a question does this have to do anything with your door being un leveled , like opening it and slightly coming down and when you close it comes up?
No that’s an alignment issue check your hinges and door checks
What was the problem?
Will be doing this soon thx!
Is this the same process in the Super Duty line of trucks?
Yes
Thank you for this video. Please provide better lighting if possible.
What keeps it from squeaking again? My truck has 30k miles on it and is already squeaking bad.
Hate to say it these were my second set also first at 35k and second at 75k and there Ford parts.
This repair is not for 08' and older, correct (11th generation f150?
15-20 f 150
@@ShallowHookerFishing I haven't heard of this in 21-22' models yet
Instead of replacing it why not try silicone grease deep into the check body to see if that will fix your squeak?
So when the check squeaks it may also be pulling out of the rubber holder and when that pulls out and you closed the door you will destroy the mounting surface for the check. And then you will need a video to replace the door lol
